That was interesting because the author didn't receive a legal takedown notice, and the request came from Valve instead of Nintendo. It's possible nintendo didn't care, and likely that sony cares less than nintendo.
- mrbungie 3y agoI think Nintendo cares a lot. In fact I think Nintendo gives so much fucks about its IP (of any kind, not only games/stories/characters, but also SDKs/APIs/console design/etc) that Valve fears any kind of association with potentially illegal or at least dubious origin software related to Nintendo. Remember Valve is a company that normally celebrates and promotes the modding community, even when using their IP directly (i.e. Black Mesa). Valve's decision was totally and exclusively because it included BOTH their and Nintendo's IPs in the equation.
- phire 3y agoI believe what happened is that Valve said something along the lines of: "We are a little concerned that Nintendo might object, you can only continue if you get an official notice from Nintendo saying they don't object." It's entirely possible that Nintendo don't care, but the chance of Nintendo agreeing to go on the record about such things is basically zero.
